Top pick: #5 (LOCKOUT) - Don't get to endorse a maiden very often in a stakes race, but this son of "Limehouse" finished second in all three appearances last year, including a pair of stakes at Woodbine. In the barn of Mark Casse and this colt has been prepared for his 3-year-old debut at the Ocala Training Center in Florida, a similar surface to this.
2nd pick: #10 (Thomas Jefferson) - Colt by "Mr. Greeley" is one of two enterd here by trainer Mike Maker and the pair will run as separate interests. He's raced well in both starts here this year and has worked three times since finishing second at this trip on Feb. 18.
3rd pick: #7 (She's Ready Made) - The field's only filly, she ships here from Aqueduct off an impressive maiden win there on Feb. 16. Lightly raced, speedy, improving, and if she handles the footing, she could be a factor.
4th pick: #3 (Magical Season) - The second of the Maker pair, he finished second here in a sprint stakes on Jan. 7, then had a very wide trip when checkin-in third going a mile on Feb. 4. Working fine for this and a stretch threat.
